The change made provides for the delivery of a regular course of lectures each year before each subordinate council throughout the country on subjects pertaining to the science of steam and mechanical engineering, mechanical draughting, pattern making and steam boiler making, the trades represented in the organization. To successfully carry out this work, provisions have been perfected for the establishment of scientific libraries for each subordinate council. The headquarters of the association are at Columbus, O. All information pertaining to the formation of subordinate councils may be obtained by addressing Henry. Luskey, president. Ktng & Elder have the finest stock of furniture in the Btate.

SECRETARY BRANDT'S RETIREMENT. What the Y, M. G. A. Has Done Since He Became Its Secretary; Rev. J. B. Brandt, local secretary of theY. M. C. A., lias been confined to his home for a few days with neuralgia, hut hopes to be able to be in St. Louis on next Sunday, and preach his first sermon in the Memorial Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, of that city, corner of Sixteenth and Carr streets, where lie has been called as pastor, llis family will not remove thither for a month, not until a suitable residence lias been prepared for them in their new home. Mr. Brandt has held the office of secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of this city longer than any one else—nearly half the time that the association has had a paid secretary. There have been altogether four other secretaries besides him. He first came to association in November, 1868, and was secretary three years and three months, and now leaves the position after a second term of service of nearly five years. During his first occupancy of the position the Y. M. C. A. hall was bought, and during this last term of service he has had the pleasure of assisting in paying off $7,200 of debt held against the property. During the past year the association has paid off the last of its indebtedness, amounting to $2,500, and is now out of debt. The Y. M. C. A. Hall property on North Illinois street is 71 feet front and feet deep, and worth between $30,000 and $40,000. The building is not in good condition, and there has been some talk of selling the property and building elsewhere, while others have been of the opinion that the present location is the most desirable that can be obtained, and that a large part of the material of the old building could be utilized in anew one. while the rooms under the hall are good renting property and bring a considerable income. Os the ’ work of the Y. M. C. A. during the past year it may be said tliaj. while it has been prosecuted quietly, its members believe much good has been done. About twenty religious meetings have been held each week. These consist of services at three Sunday-schools, prayer meetings and services at the prisons, hospitals, etc. There are now about five hundred members. The gymnasiums and bath-rooms have been well patronized during the year, having usually had fully as many patrons as they coulu accommodate. The reading-room has had a creditable number of visitors, though not as many as the association desired. Files have been kept of a large number of weekly papers, as well as of the daily papers of this city. These papers have been furnished gratuitously by the publishers. as have also dailies from Columbus. 0., Columbus, lnd.. Lowelk, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Washington. Jersey City, Chicago and New York. The association look forward to 1884 with a confident hope of doing more and better work than in any single year in the past.

REVIEW OF AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE THE WINDHAM COMPANY. At the matinee yesterday at the Grand, the pretty sketch, “The Household Fairy,*’ was given admirably by Mr Glidden and MiSs Parke, and it was followed by “Brighton,” with Mr. Windham at the head of the cast. Both pieces were presented very amusingly/ Last night there was the best house of the engagement, and the performance commenced with the comedietta, ‘•Ruth's Romance,” which gave Miss Baker an opportunity to display her cleverness, and concluded with Malthison's comedy. “The Great Divorce Case,” in which Mr. Wyndham, Mr. Blakely, Miss Rorke and Miss Baker appeared to especial advantage. The various plays were given with the dash, freshness and uniform excellence that characterize everything this company does. The engagement will conclude tonight with “A Cozy Couple” and “Where’s the Cat?” with Mr. Wyndham in both pieces. This last opportunity should not be neglected by those who have not been so fortunate as to see the company. NOTES. Four thousand people visited the museum yesterday, and it has evidently come to stay. Joseph D. Murphy, late manager of the Philadelphia Lyceum Theater, and well known in theatrical circles, died yesterday. Mr. W. J. Scaulan, a rising young Irish comedian. will he at the Grand the latter part of the week in Bartley Campbell’s “Friend and Foe.” Managers Gilmore and Dickson have leased Dowling Hall at Terre Haute for a skating rink, and Frank P. Weadon will he the acting manager. Castle’s Celebrities are giving an excellent variety, entertainment at the Park and drawing good audiences. They will continue during the remainder of the week. Os all the people in the Wyndham company Miss Kate Rorke is the cleverest and most versatile. Bhe plays widely varying parts with equal excellence and good taste, and is always attractive. Her Parker last night was one of the best character impersonations ever seen here. The horse, buggy and harness which Manager Gilmore offered as a New Year’s gift to the one guessing nearest the combined weight, was put on the scales yesterday afternoon, and weighed 1.254 pounds. There were fifteen persons who guessed this number, and the prize will have to be divided between them. Mr. Ferguson repeated his very amusing perform ace of Sir Chauncoy Trip, in “A Friendly Tip,” at English’s, yesterday afternoon and evening, there being very large audiences in attendance on each occasion. The engagement will conclude to-night; and during the remainder of the week the favorite artists. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence will be the attraction, opening in Jessop Sc Gill’s new comedy, “Facts, or His Little Hatchet,” which has made a hit elsewhere, and closing, on Saturday night, with “The Mighty Dollar,” which made the Florences fame and fortune. The advance sale, which is already large, assures a successful engagement. ?’his will be their first appearance in this city or three years. 1883. old fellow, good bye. Your race is run, your work accomplished, your record made. Three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter days it took you to make the round. You had a good send-off. and you got there, but it kept you busy. You had no time to spare; you used the last second of the last minute of the last hour. Eighteen hundred years and more, we have the record, and in all that time your speed lias not been beaten. You take your place at the head, and nearly 2,000 other fellows slide back a notch to give you room. Twelve months you have to tell the boys about the floods of ‘B3, the change in time, the two cent postage, explain our Italian sunsets and why Indianapolis did not secure the national convention. Four seasons you will stand at the head, when this young lad, this boy, this stripling, 1884, who last night slid so quietly in. will be an old man, too, and take your place and crowd you down a peg, and tell his tale and all the wonders of his time. You are through with this world; you have stepped down, passed out, crossed over. You have reached the end of this; but is this the end, or is the end of this the beginning? “Ah. there’s the rub.” c Must Stay Tlieir Time Out. Superintendent Lange will hereafter refuse to issue orders for the release of prisoners sent to jail before the time of their sentence expires. This is a commendable departure from the custom of his predecessors, and, it is said, will also be enforced by Mayor McMaster. Begin the New Year with Parker’s Shirts. Ice Tools.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.. 106 Wall street, New York. A. CARD. With the beginning of the New Year we desire to return our thanks to a generous public for the very liberal patronage of the past year. Pur business has been exceptionally large—due, we modestly believe, to the general excellence and variety of the stock we carry, as well as the exhibition of that spirit of courtesy which bears its part in attracting a discriminating community. With a determination to leave nothing, undone to deserve a continuance of public favor during the year upon which we have just entered, we remain, very respectfully, UAH & WALK, .Jewelers, NO. 12 EAST WASHINGTON ST.

GREAT SACRIFICE SALE AT THE MODEL CLOTHING COMFY ALL WINTER GOODS MUST GO. The winter having been a mild one, we have still on hand a large stock of Overcoats, Suits and other Heavy Winter Goods, which we have determined to close out during January, NO MATTER WHAT THE SACRIFICE, and to do this we have made startling reductions in prices never betore offered by this or any other house in this city or the West. When we say we have made startling reductions WE MEAN BUSINESS, and do exactly as we advertise. We expect to lose several thousand dollars by this sale, but we are determined, no matter what the cost, to carry no Winter Clothing over. These bargains are of such a character that if you have not the money to invest, it will pay you to borrow it, even if you pay interest. We shall not confine ourselves alone to Men’s Overcoats and Suits, but have made also the most remarkable reductions in prices of Boys’ and Children’s Clothing and Underwear, Cardigan Jackets, Scarfs, Mufflers, Gloves, Flannel Shirts, etc. MANY GOODS at COST.
